Chapter 12 Fighting intentionally
Several bonfires were lit in the camp of the ninth team of the Pegasus Scout Battalion. The tired soldiers took off their armor and rested quietly behind the mounds beside the deserted trade road.
Until this time, they had led a group of iron cavalry from the Xuanjia Legion and had been chasing the defeated Turks for a day and a night, and everyone was exhausted.
The ghost desert road at night is much colder than during the day. The night wind blows the sand grains in clusters, as if telling people about the past events on the thousand-year-old road.
In a corner of the camp, Lin Feng was bandaging Li Jiangyao's wounds. The military uniform soaked with blood and sweat was crumpled into a ball and thrown at his feet.
Lin Feng was busy with his hands and secretly wondered: The young boss in front of him usually didn't see anything extraordinary, but once he went to the battlefield, he became like a god of war possessing him, killing with a cold knife. The intention is fierce, and rushing into the enemy group is like entering an uninhabited place.
Of course, the price is not small.
Lin Feng looked at the bloody clothes on the ground, and then at the wounds on Li Jiangyao's body. He couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Boss, next time... can you stop working so hard?"
Li Jiangyao still had his usual indifferent look and smiled slightly: "I don't want to be like this, but as soon as I hold the handle of the knife, I forget everything. Seeing so many brothers lying in a pool of blood, what do you want me to do? .”
Lin Feng nodded silently and suddenly asked: "Boss, I heard that you are the apprentice of Commander He?"
Li Jiangyao: "The news is quite good."
"Is this really true?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "Then the kung fu you use is the famous Starfall Sword Technique? When the blade rises, the stars fall?"
Li Jiangyao tightened the gauze on his shoulder: "Why are you making such a fuss? I'm telling you, don't yell around."
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "When I was studying martial arts in Qingcheng Mountain, I once heard my master mention that the Xingluo Sword Technique, Xuanmen Holy Sword, and Ningshuang Jue are also known as the three great martial arts in the Middle Earth. They are especially famous for their quick moves. Practitioners have extremely high requirements. You must have suffered a lot to get the true inheritance of Commander He, right?"
Li Jiangyao smiled knowingly when he heard this. He wanted to tell Lin Feng that in fact, he didn't feel that hard when he was learning Xingluo Daofa. But saying it like this seemed a bit pretentious, so he just smiled and didn't answer. .
Speaking of this, it is really a very strange situation.
When Li Jiangyao traveled to this time and space, in addition to having unique knowledge and insights, he also had inexplicable superpowers. Whenever he concentrated his thoughts, everything around him would suddenly slow down. It felt like a movie in slow motion, which looked extremely weird.
What's even more weird is that his own movements will not slow down at the same time, and everything will still be as normal.
For example, he was eating on the street, and a flowerpot suddenly fell upstairs. He could easily get up and go over. Before hitting the child downstairs, he reached out to catch the slowly falling flowerpot, and then he could relax again. He walked back to his original position, put the flower pot on the table, and continued to eat.
And once he relaxed, everything around him returned to normal again, no different from his own rhythm.
It was precisely because of this special ability that He Jingming, the commander of the Fierce Blade Army, accidentally discovered it, so he coaxed and deceived Li Jiangyao into his disciple and became the sole successor of the Xingluo Sword Technique.
It would be a pity if you don't learn Xing Luo Dao with your talent.
He Jingming's evaluation is absolutely correct. One of the three most difficult skills to learn in the world is almost like a joke in Li Jiangyao's eyes.
Back when He Jingming was practicing the Xingluo Sword Technique, Li Jiangyao often mastered a certain move that required years of hard practice in just ten minutes. Commander He taught him while wiping tears secretly, almost getting angry. Vomiting blood.
Therefore, the ten-year academic career that was originally planned to be a master and apprentice ended prematurely after less than six months. Commander He Jingming sent Li Jiangyao directly to the martial arts hall of the Imperial Capital to save him from being upset.
Whenever he thinks back on this martial arts experience, Li Jiangyao can't help but laugh, and misses his teacher even more.
I don't know what's going on with Master's health. I have to remember to write a letter to Xu Youchang and Murong Xue later, asking them to visit him on their behalf.
Lin Feng was quick with his hands and feet, and it didn't take long to take care of Li Jiangyao's injuries. The two of them were chatting, and suddenly saw a scout running over in a hurry:
"Sir, Mr. Du and his brothers are fighting with the Xuanjia Army!"
Lin Feng was shocked: Old Du is a fool. As long as he doesn't patrol, he will definitely cause cats and dogs to cause a lot of trouble. Today, he actually caused trouble to the Xuanjia Army? !
Li Jiangyao was not in a hurry: "Is someone dead?"
"Well...it wasn't there when I came back, but it's hard to tell now. Sir, you'd better go and have a look. If it's too late, many people may die!"
"Nonsense," Li Jiangyao snorted coldly: "If I go, more people will die!"
Lin Feng became calmer: "Do you know why Lao Du fights with others?"
The scout wiped the sweat from his head: "This whole thing is all thanks to the Crow Army! They stole our trophies. Master Du was angry, so he started fighting with them."
Li Jiangyao raised his sword eyebrows: "What? Grabbing trophies? What trophies? Weapons? Food and grass? War horses? It can't be gold, right?"
"Prisoners! The Crow Army is robbing us of people!"
According to the Shengtang military system, prisoners were the first-class military advantage. The more prisoners and the higher the level, the heavier the reward. No wonder Du Jian cared so much about it.
"Damn it! You dare to rob the Pegasus scouts of the spoils, not to mention the Xuanjia Army, even if the tigers and leopards come!" Li Jiangyao waved his hand: "Brothers, all follow me! Find those black crows Let’s fight!”
After that, he picked up the Xingluo Dao and rushed out in a hurry, completely unaware that he was half-dressed and only had a pair of shorts on his body.
Behind him, the entire team was still sleeping soundly, and no one responded. Only Lin Feng and the scout hurriedly chased after him.
The three of them crossed the ghost desert road, bypassed the groups of people returning to camp to rest, and arrived outside a Hu forest in the blink of an eye.
Not far away, hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers were tightly surrounding several carriages, studying something unknown.
The scout who reported the news raised his hand and pointed, saying that it was that group of people who stole the loot, but Du Jian and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Li Jiangyao slowly stopped, slung the Xingluo Knife on his shoulder, and walked closer in three steps: "Which bastard stole my goods? Spit it out quickly!"
Hearing this obscene slang, the Xuanjia warriors present couldn't help but turn their heads and look around. They saw an almost half-naked boy glaring at them with anger on his face, and they suddenly felt angry and funny.
The officer leading the team glanced at him and originally planned to scold him, but he suddenly saw Lin Feng behind him, wearing the military uniform of the Zhenjiang Protectorate and the military rank accessories of a junior high school. His rank was slightly higher than his own. .
Although the two sides belong to different legions and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, the Shengtang army has strict discipline. When meeting his comrades with a higher rank than himself, the officer did not dare to be too rude and asked in a deep voice: "What do you do? ?”
Li Jiangyao ignored him and just stared at him. The officer couldn't help but secretly get angry, and said patiently: "The 17th Team of the Shanzi Camp of the Xuanjia Army is here on business. Please tell us who you are and why you are here."
Seeing that Li Jiangyao remained silent, Lin Feng was about to speak first to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Li Jiangyao snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the goods quickly, and then get away as far as you want!"
Officer Xuanjia was so humiliated by him that his face turned livid and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Unruly thing! Come on, take him down!"
"Wait a minute!" Lin Feng secretly sighed at Li Jiangyao's deliberate provocation and shouted: "This is the captain of the Pegasus Scout Battalion of the Zhenjiang Protectorate, Mr. Li! Which of you dares to make a mistake?"
The officer was slightly startled: "Colonel? Just him?"
"It's me, what's wrong?" Li Jiangyao said with a frosty face: "If you don't salute your superior when you see him, who is the one who doesn't follow the rules?"
Not to be outdone, the officer said: "Waist card!"
"Why?"
"How can you prove your identity without looking at the executioner's belt?"
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly: "Open your eyes and take a good look. Is there any place on my body where I can put my badge?"
The officer also sneered: "You don't have a belt tag? Then I still suspect you are Turkic spies!"
Lin Feng's heart sank when he heard this. He was too familiar with his captain. The purpose of spending a long time with him was to complicate the matter. Now that the officer didn't know the importance, he actually accused Li Jiangyao of being a Turkic spy to his face. I'm afraid he didn't want to fight this fight. No more.
As expected, Li Jiangyao raised his arm with a smile, pointed at the other person's nose and said: "You said this, don't deny it later. A bunch of stinking crows, since they suspect that I am a Turkic spy, why don't you come up? Arresting someone? Are you scared?"
"Looking for death!" The officer was a little annoyed by Li Jiangyao, and he drew out his saber with a loud cry: "Get the three of them!"
Lin Feng was shocked when he saw this. It was getting late at this time, and they were on the battlefield. Once these hundreds of Xuanjia troops went crazy, they killed three of them and casually threw their bodies into the sand. Not a big deal.
He shouted to the scouts beside him: "Leave us alone and run for your lives!"
At the same time, a Xuanjia soldier followed the commander's order and rushed directly towards Li Jiangyao.
However, he had just taken two steps forward when he suddenly felt his vision blur, and a big foot appeared in front of him out of thin air, as if by magic.
The momentum was so fast that he had no time to react. His whole face directly collided with Li Jiangyao's ghostly right foot. With a bang, the soldier's nose was sore and stars were shining in his eyes. He covered his face and knelt down. Come down.
Li Jiangyao retracted his right leg as fast as lightning, then turned to the side and kicked another soldier suddenly in the abdomen. The man was in so much pain that he flew back and screamed, knocking down two of his comrades who were following him.
In an instant, Hu Lin was in chaos outside.
Seeing that their comrades were injured, all the black armor warriors became furious and gathered around Li Jiangyao and Lin Feng.
Li Jiangyao reacted very quickly, making several light dodgers in succession, narrowly avoiding the weapons coming towards him, and quickly rushed into the crowd, punching and kicking, knocking down several black armor warriors in the blink of an eye. , and jumped out of the encirclement.
He calmly raised the Xingluo Knife still in its sheath and pointed it at the crowd: "Are you really going to do it?"
The leading officer almost vomited blood in anger. It was obvious that he had been doing the trick, but he acted like he was being bullied. He was clearly playing tricks on the Xuanjia Army.
The officer was furious and shouted: "Come on! Kill without mercy!" At the same time, he rushed forward and slashed at Li Jiangyao with his saber.
The Xuanjia troops all around shouted in unison, picked up their weapons, and surrounded them again.
Lin Feng had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised his leg and knocked over a soldier. He grabbed a spear and protected himself steadily. At the same time, he stared at Li Jiangyao who was trapped in a tight siege.
I saw Li Jiangyao swinging the scabbard of the Falling Star Sword in a circle first, forcing back the soldiers who were rushing up, and then suddenly dodged in front of the officer. The officer shouted in his heart, "You've come just in time." He quickly grasped the handle of the knife and slashed it at Li Jiangyao head-on without hesitation.
Just at the critical moment, there was a sudden whoosh in his ear, and a riding crop shot out from a distance, hitting the officer squarely in the face.
The officer howled miserably and fell on his back, making Li Jiangyao look confused: Huh? Why did you lie down suddenly?
The Xuanjia warriors were also taken aback. They involuntarily stopped their movements and turned their heads to look back.
The officer was lying on the ground, feeling that half of his face was swollen, and it was burning and painful. He couldn't help but feel angry and struggled to get up from the ground. He was about to fight with the person who attacked him. Unexpectedly, at a glance, he suddenly shuddered again and knelt down on one knee: "I see you as a captain in this humble position!" "
